Is possible install Eclipse IDE in a Galaxy Tab?

Question

Since Eclipse can run in Linux and this tablet has the new Honeycomb (Linux Kernel), can Eclipse IDE run in Android Honeycomb ?

I know that isn\'t pretty much comfor

Answer 1

Android (despite its Linux roots) is far from capable of running Eclipse IDE as is. Not only is the hardware inadequate for supporting such a large application, but Android lacks a full Java SE JVM (Dalvik is a subset) and SWT (Eclipse UI framework) implementation for native Android UI controls does not exist. On Linux, SWT implementations exist only for GTK and Motif.

You may be interested in project Orion, which is an effort at eclipse.org to create Eclipse-like experience in the browser. I understand that people have been able to use Orion from a mobile browser on devices such as the one on the iPad.

Answer 2

You can use DroidDevelop. DroidDevelop allows to create native Android application on your mobile device. You don't need to install Android SDK, Eclipce and an other desktop program for Windows or Linux to start programing for Android.

Answer 3

No you can't.

But who forbid you to connect to your computer using VNC? You can access your Eclipse or whatever application you want.

Answer 4

Short answer, no.

Long answer, although Honeycomb is based on Linux, you'd have to do a lot of hacking to get to the point where you can have a full blown IDE installed on it. Android works with apps. There isn't an Eclipse app, so you can't have Eclipse.

Answer 5

You can't run Eclipse but you can try AIDE:

It is compatible with the Eclipse project file format, has a fast editor with syntax highlighting and supports the full edit-compile-run cycle.

Answer 6

There was actually a version of Ubuntu for Android, you could do the Ubuntu install for Eclipse on your tablet if you were running it.

As for running Eclipse on an android OS? Not so much since Android has no real JVM.
